hey everyone i have a 2001 yamaha blaster and i was trying to change my carrier bearings and i cant seem to get the lock nuts off the back axle...they dont budge.......any tips on how to get thme off
Thanks for the help, later.

 

one word of advice, get one of those clymers books for the blaster, it will tell you how to do alot of useful things and it is extremely helpful, for the locknut thing i cant help you but that manual will

 

well, you may want to try an impact wrench if you have one, and it will fit in there. if not, then you can try puting wd-40 on the bolt, and let it sit in there overnight to let it seep in and loosen it up. Hope this helps man, Zach.

 

They put those nuts on tight. I put pipe wrenches on both the lock nuts. I positioned the inside one against ground and beat the other pipe wrench with a hammer. It was on so tight it kept racing the blaster off the ground. Once you get it started coming off don't stop because it generates heat making it easier to come off. There on there tight so they don't come off when your riding.

 

Yes I had the same prob on my raptor. I had to do the same thing here but then I had to purchase two lock nuts to be put back on. But if you need the manual I have one. PM me your email addy and I will scan the page in and send it to you bro.

Later.

 

The manual doesn't really have any tricks about getting the locknuts off. But they are helpful for doing other stuff on quads. Especially thing like giiving you the torques for bolts and sequence to tighten nut on head and cylinder base.
